Joker: What Brannon Should’ve Said

Here’s what Jim Brannon should have told the media: “I am no longer employed by Habitat for Humanity. This is a difficult time for me professionally and my family. We will endure. I am like many people in this community — unemployed. I will continue my campaign because I want to help the people who are hurting. I feel my situation translates to the common man, who is wondering where his next paycheck is coming from or how he is going to feed his family. The current council and Mayor have spent millions of dollars on extras. These things are nice. But what good is a new library if you can’t afford to live here? What good are trails, if nobody can access them because they’re working two or three jobs? What good is a Kroc Center if we have to chose between new shoes and memberships? My opponent and the rest of the council are out of touch/ Joker . Rest of comment here .

• Bent weighs in, too, here

Question: Do you agree that such a statement as Joker’s was superior to a “no comment”? (BTW, Joker, do any of the challengers have enough money in their kitties to hire you as a campaign spin doctor?)
